And last but not least is clean up. First the beauty of water based products is not having to use solvents or thinners to get them off you hands, tools, eyes, furniture,or cats. So i wash everything I use with warm water, including the stencil as seen above. Washing the stencil right after your print, while the ink is soft, will relieve any tiny detail that may have been clogged for the next print. This is the beauty of stencils after all, an ability to use them again and again.
I was eating two slices of slutty pizza today from Romanos on the corner near where I work, when I thought potatoes are a welcome topping. Irish and Italian together forever (sub reference to the digestive issues of my near future), just a delightful combo and exactly the ingredients that make up Vanessa. Searching endlessly through google images (another dirty habit) I couldn't figure out how to make the connection between how much I love the snack and my lovely lady. When I came upon this dog.....meet Potato Pizza.
Vanessa, Jill, Jakie and I shopped around at this cheap shop in Tinseltown today, and got some stationary odds and ends. Yoko Yaya 1 2 3 is like an endless miniature theme park brightly lit by the relentless buzzing of the florescence above. While having everything you could imagine, in a real way it has nothing you really need....except some sweet brush pens, and an exacto cutting mat....and some cotton pads...and a heart shaped mold for eggs???
